You folks are hilarious. But seriously, I'd check your HOA regs, Quack, as I am not sure if they allow for water craft in the dwelling unit. Perhaps a $20 handshake will allow for the 4d experience to continue.

Good advice on the sound - I'll put the v100 on the Christmas list. Regarding surround, I hear what you are saying and if the qs8s are the way to go then I'll just have to run 3.1 until I feel like I can justify the expense.

Can't wait to get the sub in place, but my downstairs neighbor may not be so enthusiastic. 400w downfiring may have been a bit much for a 1 bedroom apt...

This is an expensive freaking hobby.
